"Radiance of the Gorge" was photographed one year ago today on April 21 2021 and I’m happy to share more of the story and behind the scenes images from this once in a lifetime moment captured on the Columbia River Gorge! We have the most wonderful memories from this day as it was such a gorgeous warm spring day so we grabbed our friends and headed out for some boat and beach fun on the river. Ahh, those first 80 degree days in early Spring- nothing quite like it! We had the best of times that day and at the end of the evening my family was hungry, tired, and ready to go home! While loading the boat up the sky just absolutely lit up with incredible cloud colors and texture. I had no choice but to rush and try to capture it and “The Hook” ended up being the perfect spot. With not a second to spare the boat and family were along for the ride- like it or not 😜 Arriving to the location I setup the tripod and camera as fast as I could and was able to capture one 30 second exposure with the color intensity before the light and color changed and faded in an instant. Perfect (quick) ending to a wonderful day spent with friends playing and creating 🤩
Here’s a collection of some other images and captions from that incredible day!
